Quite a few almonds on the salad and I liked that I was able to get some in every few bites. However, it was supposed to have crispy wonton strips on it and it did not. They were quite busy and since I ordered a side of fries, I decided to not ask for the wonton strips. My only suggestion is to have a few more sliced carrots in the salad. (I am a huge fan of carrots in Asian salads) Fries were good :-) My husband really liked the taste of his quesadilla but it did not have a good "crisp" on it. It was hard to handle as it kinda soggy and full of heavy ingredients so it was a knife and fork meal for him. The soggy quesadillas was a rating killer here. I wish I could give 3 1/2 stars but rounded down since my salad was missing the wonton strips.

It is a little stand facing the street, which looks underwhelming at first glance. BUT, they offer delicious coffee and delicious breakfast sandwiches and fast friendly service for a reasonable price. Don't skip on the spicy breakfast sauce. I don't typically like spicy sauces especially on breakfast food but it is SO good. We make it a rule not to go to the same places when on vacation so we can try new places but we broke it here. We went back both mornings because the sandwiches were so good. The only downside is there is no place to really sit and eat outside so you would need to take your food to go and sit in your car, go back to hotel or air bnb, unless it is nice out and you can find a bench somewhere. Overall, this place was a hit and I suggest you try it if ever in Friday Harbor.

I appreciate a business that chooses to do a small number of things and do them well. There are three sandwiches available at this bakery, and they are all very good. There's a handful of pizzas, a handful of bread types, and a handful of desserts -- all perfected, and always consistent. This is why this is the best pizza on the island, even when you buy it frozen after hours at the Coop or at Marketplace. It is not possible to get sick of the pizza when eaten for lunch on a daily basis -- I, and many others, have tested this. In the interest of science, I decided to test it on the apple tart, as well. I feel religious about this apple tart, conveniently produced in large, share with other people size, and in a single, I get the whole thing to myself, size. It is a perfect tart, from crust on the bottom to glaze on the top. There's something almondy going on just about the crust. No, it is not possible to get sick of them. Now the brownies, they're just sort of OK. Pecan tart, key lime pie -- up there with the apple tart. But the apple tart stands alone as the holy grail, if there was a kind of holy grail that you could just go and buy every day. read more

Waiting hungrily for BSJ to reopen after it's annual winter break. I buy 1-2 loaves of fresh sliced bread every week and this year I forgot to stock up before they shut down for the holidays. A couple of weeks of grocery store bread makes me appreciate BSJ bread even more. Miss my pizza slice lunches too, especially the island peperoni. Visitors should try the potato gorgonzola and the goat cheese pizzas, because they are special and unlike anything you'll find off island. But if you want a standby, they have the best ham sandwich you'll ever eat, and the turkey terragon on sour dough is fantastic. read more

I make a point of bringing a giant cooler (which I measured to fit the pizza boxes) so that I can bring home a stack of them from this tiny, incredible bakery (and we have plenty of good pizza in my hometown.) When I run out of the potato/gorganzola, I start having dreams about it. And the apple tart. And the challah. And then there's the molasses oatmeal cookies. And the key lime pie. This bakery is like a reduced sauce: is tininess is proportionate to its awesomeness. read more

The layering, flakiness, and crispiness were top-notch. Cons: Visually impressive, but the flavor was surprisingly subtle and plain. My partner and I shared one pastry, but we couldn't finish it because it felt a bit bland after a few bites. It's definitely a popular hotspot on the island and worth taking a photo of, but for taste alone, it didn't quite live up to the hype for us. If you're strolling down the main street, there are several other local coffee shops right nearby to check out as well!

Once at the counter, pleasantly greeted and our order taken for a cortado, one of each of the featured focaccias, and a buckwheat chocolate chip cookie. We sat at a two top by a window which allowed us to take in the late morning sunshine and see all the birds on the trees outside. The cortado was spot on and served in a handmade cup. The focaccias were substantial and had a great tang. The buckwheat chocolate chip cookie was tasty day of and day after. I enjoyed also seeing the production baking area that was visible behind the main retail counters.

Once seated, we had to ask the hostess for silverware. Started w the grilled asparagus ($25) - tasty sauce of garlic scapes, topped with pretty purple flowers that added no flavor. Good flavor, but for 6 stalks this was kinda insane. Scallop crudo ($30) was disappointing - scallop was minimal, very overwhelmed by the rhubarb. Would have expected the ratio to be balanced. Beautiful dish, no less, but this should have been called a rhubarb crudo to accurately reflect the dish. Again, insanely low volume of food. For pizzas, we got the poh-tay-toh ($28) and Gus Gus ($27 - asparagus, green garlic, tarragon, mozzarella, parm). These were more redeeming than the apps, tasty, but not ground shattering. Understandably the "ambiance" was expected since did not have reservations, but even then, the exterior was dusty and we did not feel the staff was present. Outdoor restroom was a step up from a hiking trailhead bathroom. The establishment inside is very nice so YMMV, but our experience was less than stellar. Overall, disappointed by the experience. Pizza was good, but extremely meager portions for the appetizers. It seems the focus of each dish was appearance rather flavor.

However, it took quite a while for our food to arrive, and when it did, it wasn't very hot. I ordered my eggs over medium, but they came out overdone. From what I observed, the kitchen and counter staff seemed somewhat disorganized, which may have contributed to the long wait and cold food. I've heard mixed reviews about this place, and based on my visit, it seems like your experience may depend on the day. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either.

I'm genuinely surprised by the nearly 5-star rating based on our experience…read more We visited around 1:30 PM and were told that hot food was no longer being served. We then tried to order a salad, and were told that oh also that wasn't available. honestly felt like they just didn't feel like making anything. The only real option left was smoothies and açaí bowls. We ended up ordering three açaí bowls for the kids and a smoothie. At around $15 per bowl, the portions were shockingly small--only about a quarter full with five banana slice and three strawberries. one bowl was missing almond butter. The protein* smoothie couldn't be made properly because they were out of the protein powder. They offered to substitute collagen instead - not the same thing but ok. no discount. no acknowledgement. I understand that restaurants run out of items occasionally, but between most of the menu being unavailable, the outrageous price for the quality of the output, missing ingredients, and the complete lack of an apology or acknowledgment, this was a very disappointing experience.
